Penpal Buddies From Different Worlds (Chat Noir / Adrien X Reader)

Chapter 10: COVID-19

"I understand." Looking over towards his computer, Mari, Alya, Nino, and Adrien were all staring at me, wondering what my parents are talking to me about. Of course everyone, but Adri were on the screen.

"Please let Gabe and Adrien know about this situation before going any further. We love you!"

"I love you too, Mother and Father." I smiled.

"Wait!" I froze my finger at the end call button, "Can we speak to Adrien?" I nodded before walking over to the said boy. I took out one of by ear pods and placed it in one of his ears.

"Here, he is!" I giggled at Adri's weird reaction.

"Hello, sweetie!" My mother called out.

"Hello, Mrs. Taylor," Adri chuckled, "You too, Mr. Taylor."  

"Likewise."

"We both want to see how you both are handling each other."

"He is an ass to me," I chuckled, feeling him elbow me in the side.

"No, I'm not!" He argued, "Besides, watch your language, young lady." We heard the chuckling of my parents.

"You two are so adorable together!" My mother gushes. We all laugh, thinking nothing of it. Well, that is what I presumed anyway. 

I forced the heat away from my face, hoping that no one would notice. I would be lying if I said I haven't thought of Adrien in that way. Seeing how we were attached to each other's hips 24/7, it was just a matter of time before those thoughts ran through my mind. At this point, I know him better than anybody. 

I wonder if he thinks that way too about me...

"Anyways..." My father continued, "Due to the circumstances right now, due to the virus, we think it is best for (Y/N) to stay with you guys for a little bit longer." Adri's eyes widen, giving me a sideways glance before altogether looking back at my phone. 

"Really?"

"Yes, at the moment, the schools in the United States are going online. So there is no need for her to go back as we planned a couple of months ago." 

"Alright, I'll inform my father about it as soon as he is available." Adri sighed, probably thinking of his dad, "I'm sure he is fine by it, seeing on how he has taken a liking to (Y/n)..." I frown, remembering the discussions of earlier about Gabe.

"That settles it!" My mom blurted out, "Thanks for talking to him on our behalf. It is crazy here at the office, and right now, we can't make time to talk to Gabe ourselves officially. We tried contacting him earlier, before calling (Y/N), but he seems to be busy..."

"It's okay, mom. We will do it as soon as he is free." I smiled.

We said our goodbyes and ended the call shortly after that.

"So~" I turn my head towards the monitor where Alya, Nino, and Mari's faces were, "What's going on?" 

"I'm going to stay with Adri until further notice!" I wrap my arms around Adri's neck before putting my head on top of his, "Looks like your going to have to deal with me longer than what you would have liked, Adri."

"Awe, man!" He joked, placing one of his hands on my arm, "I can barely survive with you being here now..." Applying some pressure, I squeezed my arms in annoyance. 

"Come on, blonde. I'm not THAT bad!" I teased, feeling a tick mark rise on my head, "At least I'm not the one who smells like stinky cheese because you are obsessed with Camenbear." 

"H-Hey!" He stuttered, "At least I'm not the one spending over an hour in the bathroom getting ready!" 

"Oh my god, can you guys stop arguing like a married couple," Nino's voice rang out, "No wonder everyone thinks that you guys are dating..." We both froze, looking up at the camera.
